If block is at verge of motion, then select the correct option (where μ is the coefficient of friction) Image related to
F = umg/sin θ
F = umg/( sin θ + u cosθ)
F = mg
F = umg

Solution:

If the angle θ\theta is with the vertical, then we need to adjust the force components accordingly:

  1. Normal Force:

    N=mgFcosθN = mg - F \cos \theta

  2. Friction Force:

    fs=μN=μ(mgFcosθ)f_s = \mu N = \mu (mg - F \cos \theta)

  3. Horizontal Component of Force:

    Fx=FsinθF_x = F \sin \theta

At the verge of motion:

Fsinθ=μ(mgFcosθ)F \sin \theta = \mu (mg - F \cos \theta)

Solving for FF:

F=μmgsinθ+μcosθF = \frac{\mu mg}{\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta}
